In honor of the 1st of September, the first day of school in Israel, here is Tudra Village. This song describes the village Tudra - located in the Atlas Mountains of northern Morocco, where the children would lick Hebrew letters made of honey, as a part of a special ceremony on their first day of the Jewish school.

The Masorti Movement is committed to a pluralistic, egalitarian, and democratic vision of Zionism. Masorti represents a “third” way. Not secular Judaism. Not ultra-Orthodoxy. But a Jewish life that integrates secular beliefs. Halakhah with inclusion and egalitarianism. Tradition that recognizes the realities of today’s world. Masorti engages tens of thousands of Israelis each year, young and old, native born as well as olim from around the globe.
